Where Glacier Meets Rainforest: Extreme Adventures with Klaus Thymann

Recently, photographer Klaus Thymann teamed up with Casio G-Shock to test the extreme environmental and time zone capabilities of the brand's new watch, the GPW1000. Thymann documented the trip, and now you can see his photos in a new exhibit, "Timezone," at the Supermarket in New York City (March 26–April 9). Click through for a sneak peek of his gorgeous images.

Photographer, filmmaker, and creative director Klaus Thymann and his team set out to document their 24-day journey in a new project, Timezone. In the short time they traveled to Cenote Agelita in Mexico, Fox Glacier in New Zealand, and Mount Nyiragongo in The Congo.

"I have wanted to dive the Angelita Cenote since I first heard about it," says Thymann. "It's an incredible experience to see this really strange underwater environment. It looks evil in a very beautiful way—if Mordor had a swimming pool this would be it."

Fox Glacier, New Zealand

The second part of the trip led them to New Zealand's Fox Glacier, which descends into a temperate rainforest. The team overcame difficult environments, as much of it is constantly damaged due to flood and glacial retreat.

"The images of New Zeland's glaciers will hopefully bring an original view of our planet," says Thymann.

Mount Nyiragongo, Democratic Republic of Congo

The final adventure took Thymann and his crew deep into the Virunga National Park to visit Mount Nyiragongo, where they endured freezing temperatures at the volcano's ridge and dangerous gas emissions.

"The Nyiragongo volcano in Democratic Republic of Congo is a truly amazing sight, but the fact that it is remote and located in a conflict zone makes access complicated," notes Thymann. "I feel privileged to have been there and I think the images portray the unique beauty of the place."
